Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Duan Wu saw the hardships of the 51st Arsenal, and he donated a thousand yuan in his own name.

This is the only thing that Dragon Boat Festival can do.

Of course, he also wants to improve the living environment at the 51st Arsenal, but first, the Chinese Air Force does not have the advantage now. The little devils can even bomb a mountain city, let alone such a remote mountain village. Therefore, it is simply unrealistic to build a large number of office buildings and factory workshops.

Otherwise, the 51st Arsenal would not have been hidden in the mountains.

As for increasing financial support, Duanwu also feels that this is almost impossible.

Although the 51st Arsenal was definitely considered a key unit during the Anti-Japanese War, he knew better than anyone how much the Ministry of Finance's revenue and expenditure was. Even the money he spent to purchase weapons and equipment was forcibly withheld from the Ministry of Finance.

Therefore, Duan Wu believes that even if he makes suggestions to the Chairman, it will be useless. Since the Ministry of Finance has no money, what is the use of such indifferent suggestions?

Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival can only donate a thousand yuan in his own name to temporarily improve the food at the 51st Arsenal.

But even so, Jin Changxi was already very satisfied. Because of this thousand-yuan subsidy, he could even provide the engineers and workers of the arsenal with meat, eggs, fish, shrimp, etc. every day.

As long as the nutrition keeps up, the yield will naturally increase.

Although he was happy, Jin Changxi said a little apologetically: "Director, the accommodation conditions in this arsenal are limited, so I'll give you a hard time and live in the dormitory of our factory director Feng Baobao. His room is the largest room in our entire arsenal. Because we often hold meetings there to discuss the future development of the arsenal, increase production, and develop some new weapons, etc."

Speaking of this, Jin Changxi looked sad again. Apparently he had received the news of Feng Baobao's death.

Duanwu nodded, but said: "In this way, my time is limited. I have to go back to the mountain city in three days. So tonight, we will work an extra shift to finalize the drawings of the new submachine gun. Let's see if they have it. what is the problem?"

Jin Changxi said quickly: "The director has come a long way. It will take a day and two nights to get from the mountain city to Chongshan Village. I am afraid that your body will not be able to bear the workload if you work without a break?"

Duanwu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. When I led troops to fight in the past, it was common for me to stay up for three days and three nights. What's more, I am not good at the design of submachine guns and the correction of some data. I need a few more engineers. Take the trouble.”

Several engineers quickly said: "Don't worry, director, although designing submachine guns is not what we are best at, when it comes to calculations, there is no problem at all. And we have seen the design drawings of your submachine guns. They are very good." It is suitable for our current national conditions. Its cost can be reduced to six to seven dollars, and in this way, even if all our Chinese troops are equipped with submachine guns, it is not out of reach, hahaha!"

Duanwu nodded and said: "I think so too, let's get started!"

"Yes, Director!"

Several people shouted in unison, and Jin Changxi led the way, taking Duanwu to Feng Baobao's dormitory.

Here, Beiming Xuanye and others were taken to rest and eat by people from the arsenal.

The only company on the Dragon Boat Festival was Jin Changxi and five engineers.

When we arrived at Feng Baobao's dormitory, the first thing we saw was Feng Baobao's longevity tablet. This was obviously set by Jin Changxi and other workers at the arsenal for Feng Baobao.

Jin Changxi saw Duan Wu looking at Director Feng's tablet, and he quickly said: "I'm sorry, director, I'll put it away right now." Duan Wu waved his hand to stop him and said: "Director Feng and I also hit it off. It's just a pity. , Spies were rampant in the mountain city, and without me noticing, he fell into the hands of the spies. Director Feng died heroically, but in the end he fell into an unclear reputation."

Jin Changxi also remembered it at this time. He thought for a long time and then said: "I believe that our factory director did not take refuge with the Japanese. The submachine gun design drawings he drew must have been forged by the Japanese."

Duanwu shook his head and said, "No!"

But he said nothing next. Because the fewer people who know about the fake submachine gun blueprint drawn by Feng Baobao, the better.

So Duanwu could only say: "I am sorry for your factory director."

Speaking of this, Duanwu picked up the incense in front of Changfeng's tablet, lit three incense sticks and enshrined them in front of Feng Baobao's longevity tablet and said: "Tonight, let Director Feng witness with his own eyes that the drawings of the submachine gun that he used to protect with his life were displayed in front of him. Let’s have a successful design in this house!”

"It's the director!"

Jin Changxi and the five engineers responded in unison, although they did not know what happened between Duanwu and Director Feng, and whether the submachine gun blueprint designed by Director Feng himself was true or false.

But they felt his pain from Duanwu's expression. In other words, Duan Wu believed that Director Feng was innocent and that he was not a traitor.

At this point, that's enough. Because each of them did not get together for fame or profit. They are to support the war of resistance and create more and better weapons and equipment for the soldiers on the front to kill the enemy!

So they had nothing to say at this time and focused on following the design drawings of the submachine gun for the Dragon Boat Festival re-school team.

The design inspiration of the Dragon Boat Festival comes from the Sten submachine gun.

It can be said that the Sten submachine gun is not the best submachine gun in the world.

But it is nothing less than the cheapest submachine gun, and it is very simple to make. Most of the entire gun body is stamped, laying a solid foundation for mass production.

So it is precisely because of this that Jin Changxi, engineers and others were so excited and interested after seeing the design drawings of this submachine gun.

Naturally, Duanwu also wants this submachine gun to be mass-produced, because once it is mass-produced, if all the Chinese army is equipped with this submachine gun, it will be difficult for the Japs to take over Wuhan, not to mention pushing the Japs sideways.

Of course, this is a bit unrealistic. Just tonight, Duanwu and a few engineers finalized the drawings. We also had to make a few samples first and then conduct various data tests.

Duanwu felt that it was impossible to do this in less than three months.

And even if the test is successful, stamping equipment will still need to be purchased. This kind of equipment is not available in China either.

And if we wait to buy the stamping equipment back, we don’t know when it will be.

So I think about it, China really has a long way to go if it wants to manufacture its own submachine gun. I don’t know how long it will take for this submachine gun to be installed in the army! .
